Fed Hydra-shok Deep 380auto 99gr 20/

Federal Hydra-Shok Deep 380 ACP ammunition delivers controlled expansion and consistent penetration in a purpose-built defensive round. The 99-grain projectile combines Federal's proven Hydra-Shok Deep bullet technology with the ballistic efficiency required for reliable terminal performance in the compact .380 ACP platform. Available in 20-round boxes, this loading is manufactured to exacting standards for shooters who demand precision in self-defense ammunition.

The Hydra-Shok Deep design features a center-post hollow point cavity engineered to promote controlled expansion across a velocity range, with a core that separates to create multiple wound channels. At 99 grains, this projectile weight maximizes velocity potential in .380 ACP while managing recoil impulse—a critical factor in platforms optimized for shootability and shot placement. Federal's consistent case processing and primer selection ensure uniform chamber pressures and reliable ignition round after round, eliminating the variability that undermines confidence in defensive loads.

This ammunition suits law enforcement duty pistols, civilian carry platforms, and trained defensive shooters prioritizing ammunition that performs consistently across barrier-free engagements. The .380 ACP remains prevalent in compact semi-automatic pistols where concealability and ease of handling are primary concerns. Federal's commitment to quality control in every stage of manufacture—from component selection through final inspection—makes this loading a standard reference for ammunition that performs when it matters most.
